One time charges are not part of the estimates and should be excluded from the earnings report. I can't remember anytime when the analysts' estimates were within 30% of the actuals and I don't see why it should be different this time. In this quarter the earnings will not be the driving force for the stock. Rather it will be the forward statements that will be the deciding factor, IMO. good luck, ST
